About Kevin Mahoney
I did not start out in SEO. My career began in sales and marketing — the kind where you learn to read people, understand what they actually need, and figure out how to deliver it. That foundation has shaped everything about how I approach search engine optimization today.
I got into digital marketing and SEO over a decade ago, and I have been deep in it ever since. I have built campaigns for businesses of all sizes, across both B2B and B2C, and I have seen firsthand what works and what is a waste of money. That is actually why I started Marketing By Kevin — I got tired of watching businesses get burned by agencies that over-promise and under-deliver.
What Makes This Different
Most SEO agencies want to charge you for months of auditing and planning before anything actually happens. I take a different approach. I focus on high-impact work that moves the needle — particularly premium content placement that builds real authority signals fast.
When you hire me, you get me. Not a junior account manager. Not an outsourced team. I do the work, I answer the emails, and I tell you the truth about what is working and what is not. If something is not the right fit for your business, I will say so rather than take your money.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with businesses where search visibility directly drives revenue:
- Contractors and trades — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, remodeling
- Home service businesses — landscaping, cleaning, pest control, painting
- Law firms — personal injury, family law, criminal defense, estate planning
- Medical and dental practices — patient acquisition through local and organic search
These are industries where a single new client can be worth thousands of dollars. That is the kind of ROI I am focused on delivering.
Based in Chicago
Marketing By Kevin is based in Chicago, but I work with businesses across the country. Search engines do not care where your SEO consultant sits — they care about the quality of your content, the strength of your authority signals, and whether your website delivers value to the people searching for what you offer.
